The black dragon was in his bedroom, trying to analyse the odd box that contained the map. But then, a serious yelling interrupted his thoughts. "Spyro! Go to the academy's main building, now!" It was Jet-Vac's voice, who sounded incredibly serious. Spyro was very scared. "Is that it? Did they finally figure out that I...?" While afraid, the dragon hid the box under his bed before leaving.

Once at the academy, Hugo, who also had a serious tone as well, led him to a small dark room. He then realizes that his friends Stealth Elf and Eruptor were also there, having been called in the same fashion. Spyro was relieved on the inside. "Phew... Looks like it's for something else. But still, what's going on...?"

The three Skylanders talked about how they didn't know what was happening until Jet-Vac arrived with Hugo and close the door. He had a very strict tone. "Sirs and Miss, this is a very important matter! Yesturday, all of you have been to this building, and this morning, Hugo didn't find Eon, only a ray gun next to ashes. Which means... One of you vaporized Eon!" All three gasped.

Eruptor was quick to be scared. "It wasn't any of us! It must have been the monster!" Stealth Elf thought it was stupid. "Eruptor, there is no monster. You're watching too much horror movies..."

Jet-Vac interrupted her. "Elf, please let Eruptor say what happened according to him!" Stealth Elf had an annoyed look as Eruptor continued.

"It's true that I've watched a scary movie two nights ago, and it made me pretty afraid. So after your class, I went straight back home. But I kept hearing very scary noises around the house, like someone walking on the roof. As if a monster was after me! So I ran outside and I saw a creepy figure, which made me run away. I've been searching for a place to hide and went inside Eon's office, hiding under his desk. Then, I heard Eon come in and talking to someone, right before a weird noise was heard. I've looked and saw nothing left of Eon. I then ran on the hallways and got unconscious from a shock..."

Jet-Vac used his lie detector from his Vac-Gun and saw the result. "While I don't believe that monster story, it appears that you're indeed innocent." Stealth Elf, again, thought it was stupid. "Of course it wasn't a monster!" This confidence caused Hugo to speak up. "Then say what happened according to you, miss Stealth Elf. If that's your actual name..."

Irritated, Elf answered "Of course it is... I was indeed inside the building when the story happened, and I think the culprit is..." As much as it hurt her, she had to continue. "Spyro!" The whole room was shocked. On the inside, Spyro said "No, that wasn't me! I know I'm trapped in an evil body, but even then, I didn't do anything to Eon!"

"Ever since Spyro came back with his different look, he started to act weird and suspicious to me. During Jet-Vac's class, I couldn't focus as I saw him make a prank on you with a spitball, something our friend wouldn't have done before. I can however confirm that there was no monster, Eruptor! It was me, walking on the roof during my training! I saw you run outside scared, and the figure you saw wasn't a monster either, it was Spyro. He was carrying odd stuff, but I couldn't see what it was, so I followed him until he arrived to the main building. Once inside, I heard a blast like Eruptor, only to see something shocking... Spyro was cleaning up, as if he was cleaning up a scene of crime. And then, I got knocked out. That's why I think Spyro did it!"

The black dragon only left out burst of laughter as a reacted. "Oh, Elfy! You have way too much imagination! I'm completely innocent!" Jet-Vac, who was just done checking with his gun that Elf was honest about her version, then adressed him. "So, can you tell us what happened according to you?" Spyro was confident. "Thought you'd never ask..." He then starts.

"I was at Jet-Vac's class, and as always, it was very boring..." The bird sighed. "Let's pretend I didn't hear that..."

The dragon then continued. "I didn't intend to be rude with this spitball, but there was a mean looking squirrel around you and I tried to make him flee, but I didn't aim well enough and it got on your face. Needless to say, you weren't happy about that, and as you must remember, you punished me to janitorial duty in the evening for that. But as you may know, I'm a hero! So during the afternoon, I went around the Skylands, doing various heroic tasks. That's pretty much by life. On the evening, I left the house with janitorial stuff, and Eruptor saw me and thought I was a monster. I wished I could explain him, but he ran too fast for me. I didn't mean to follow him, but he went inside the building as well. I didn't pay attention to him and focused on my work, since Eruptor made the floor dirty with gravel. Then, I heard a blast, which surprised me so much that I made a mess with the bucket. As I was cleaning, I got knocked out as well."

On the inside, Spyro got annoyed by his lies, but what mattered is that he told the truth about being innocent, which Jet-Vac just confirmed thanks to his device. The bird commented "So if none of you did it, how can we know...?"

Hugo then thought about something. "The security cameras! We installed them recently after Eon realized that his lunch kept disappearing!" Jet-Vac was annoyed that they didn't start with that, and Hugo admitted that he didn't because he was the one stealing his lunch. He then led the group to Eon's office to see what happened with the projector.

Hugo activates and sees that Eruptor was running on the always and bumped into his friends, knocking all three of them in the process. While the group had a hard time believing the answer was that simple, something shocked them, as right after, Jet-Vac was seen in the hallway as if he was sleepwalking.

Making this discovery, Spyro thought of something as the bird was shocked. "I don't even remember going out... It couldn't mean that I...?" A familiar voice asked "That you what?"

They all saw Eon wearing a towel, which made them all happy. "Eon! We all thought you were... Where have you been?" He then answers. "I was at the lake last night for a swim and left my clothes here, but I had to come back here to use this gun, which is a flykiller. I ran into Jet-Vac, who was sleepwalking."

Stealth Elf had a last question. "But then... what is that dust?" "This? It's actually sand, which got into my clothes." Hugo was happy to say that they solved the mystery, which annoyed the group. Eon was quick to raise their spirit. "How about taking the day off to the lake all together, then? I'm sorry I made you worried, so I think you'll want to relax."

The whole group accepted, but Stealth Elf wanted to stay behind to talk to Spyro in the hallway. "Hey, Spyro... I'm sorry I accused you. It's true that your whole situation has been a bit weird in my eyes lately, but I should've known better."

The dragon reassured her. "That's okay, Elfy! You've been through a lot of stress these past few days, and based on what you saw that night, it wasn't actually that crazy for you to believe that. But we're still friends! Do not worry!" They happily fist bump, but then, Spyro said that he'll join them a bit later, claiming a need to take a small meal before leaving.

He went into Eon's office and took the projector after he made sure he was alone. He then rewinded the video nervously, as what he realized a bit earlier was true. On the recording, there is footage of him cleaning before being interrupted by one of Strykore's appearances.

"Strykore? What are you doing here? Someone could see us!", said the dragon on the recording. Strykore answered "Well, if that happens, they'd be dealt with!".

Dark Spyro then stopped the video, ejected the disk and used his steam to destroy it to ashes. While he was happy that his one piece of evidence against him wasn't seen and that it prevents him from hurting his friends, he had a guilty expression on his face.

Spyro did his best to stay positive inside his mind. "It was very close today and yesterday. Stealth Elf could've found out, and if she did yesturday, she would've..." The dragon left the room with a painful feeling, hoping that having a nice time with his friend would make him feel better.
